The song is noted for allowing the band, and French dance music more generally, to break through to British and American markets.

"[5] The song appears in the 1999 film 10 Things I Hate About You, playing during the scene where characters decide to sabotage an upcoming party.

The new single from the cool-as French duo is a swooping, moog-driven slice of fromage, filled with polyester passion and gender-bending vocals.

"[7] A reviewer from Music Week gave it five out of five, noting that the song is "uncharacteristically uptempo with its vocodered lyrics and driving Roxy Music/Bowie/ELO sensibility.

"[8] John Mulvey of NME praised Air's "sensitive but tenacious grasp of melody, a laid-back disposition and a reckless way with a Vocoder that makes them unafraid of sounding like a digital ELO", while also noting similarities to Garbage.

[9] Andy Beevers from Record Mirror Dance Update also rated it five out of five, naming it "by no means the highlight" of the album, and "the least downtempo track and therefore a sensible choice for the French duo's first major label single."

Meanwhile, the members of Air are still in New York and other people see them playing with the toy monkey around the United Nations headquarters and in Central Park.

The orchestra and choir arrangement was created by composer Roger Neill, who has been a long-time collaborator with Air since his extensive work on their 2001 album 10,000 Hz Legend.
